1Mercado de Jamaica
After taking the Metro subway, we're going to take a walk in the flower market. During the Day of the Dead, this means many vendors with the most popular flowers for decorating altars and offerings, such as marigolds, carnations, cempasuchils and others. The atmosphere is unique, colorful, filled with papel picado (cut paper decorations), families buying flowers, and, of course, the classic fruits and vegetables that are common in this market. We will have an esquite here, the famous corn snack we love so much.

- We're keeping the crew small and cozy – max 8 awesome folks on this tour!
- We'll be strolling and taking the subway. There might be a few stairs here and there, nothing too crazy. It can get pretty crowded and hectic, but trust me, it's the quickest and safest way to get around. I've got your back!
- We kick things off at 10:30 AM and wrap up around 3 PM.
- Now, if you're vegan, I gotta be honest—it's not a perfect fit. Meat and veggies are gonna share the same cooking surfaces, and not every stop is a veggie haven. But hey, we'll work it out and find some tasty options for you.
- Don't forget to bring your water bottle and check the weather report! – just in case!
